TEXT C The Faculty of Radioelectronics and Laser Technologies
Everything is changing, and the people making these changes are engineers: they make things, and they make things better. The collective challenges are of global character. Improved systems and tools for generating energy, protecting the fragile environment, and protecting people from disease have the potential to improve the life of people. By welcoming a wide range of knowledge, experience, and expertise under a single intellectual roof, the teachers, researchers, and students of the RL faculty attack and solve various problems.
Founded in 1929, the “RL” faculty has a proud history of being involved in the technical community of the country through technological leadership and research innovation. Its task is to train highly-qualified specialists in the fields of Optoelectronics, Applied Optics, Radioelectronics. The course provides students both with the knowledge of general engineering subjects basic to all engineering professions and with the knowledge of specialized subjects.
All senior students master such subjects as elements of machines, fundamentals of electronics, radio engineering, informatics, theory of optoelectronic systems.
Students take an active part in research in various areas of science. They develop new technologies which are applied in different spheres of industry. ”RL” faculty is a distinguished faculty due to its profound academic programs, cutting-edge research and a longstanding commitment to modern technical development. 1263
TEXT D The Faculty of Biomedical Engineering
Advances in basic biology at the molecular and cellular levels during recent decades have dramatically increased the knowledge about biological systems. It is widely agreed that a crucial challenge for the coming decades is how to integrate information from the genomic level to higher levels of system organization, for both fundamental scientific understanding and development of innovative biotechnologies. Thus, a new discipline of biomedical engineering is emerging. It is directed toward analysis of biological systems and synthesis of technologies that can modify and control such systems for global benefit across many, diverse areas including human and environmental health.
The research at the faculty focuses on the use of the tools and methods of engineering to better understand human physiology and disease, and the development of new technologies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human disease.

The faculty trains specialists who will work in cooperation with medical staff to diagnose an illness accurately and quickly and to improve the quality of patients’ treatment be means of modern medical appliances.
Besides a number of fundamental subjects, students master radio-electronics in order to be able to model a signal, amplify it and transform it from analog into digital form. They also study biomechanics and electrode methods of current carrying. Medical subjects like biology, physiology, therapeutics, morbid anatomy are also included into the curriculum.
Biomedical engineering is rapidly developing in Russia and there is a great demand for medical appliances on the world market. Biomedical engineers who graduated from BMSTU have lots of ideas concerning design of new devices for all branches of medical research and their further application in hospitals. 1531
